The Luna is definitely less grippy than any other trials tire out there.
It is a much harder rubber compound that I'm pretty sure was based
around Moto trials.
If you are looking for something thats really grippy, don't get a Luna.
If you want super thick sidewalls that let you run the lowest pressure,
get a Luna.
I rode a Luna for about 3 years and I really liked it at the time, but
once I started to do more technical trials on anything that was
slippery or sloped I hated it.
With any trials tire though you are going to have the issue of either
it wears fast, or it grips well.
I am now riding an Eagle Claw which is about double the price of a
Luna, it grips way better, it has slightly thinner sidewalls, much
lighter, but wears quite fast as well.
These are the trade offs you will have to deal with, with any trials
tire.
Also most local bike shops in Canada can get the Luna, it costs them
ten bucks, so they will probably sell it to you for 20-30, depending on
how much they deal with that particular supplier.
